Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara, Attorney-at-Law
Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara raised concerns about international discussions on USAID transactions relating to Sri Lanka and referred to a letter from Hon. Namal Rajapaksa requesting a Special Committee. He urged that, since the Prime Minister’s name had also been mentioned, the matter should be addressed formally and asked the Speaker what action would be taken, including whether such a committee would be appointed.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, I raise this particular matter. There are now extensive discussions internationally regarding Sri Lanka concerning USAID transactions. Hon. Namal Rajapaksa has sent you a letter requesting the appointment of a Special Committee on this matter. As the Hon. Prime Minister’s name is also mentioned, it is not good for the Government either. Therefore, will you appoint such a Special Committee and take necessary steps? What action will you take?
